Yes I have snake plants coming up like weeds in Florida and a few nice ones up north also . But it looks so cool I had to get one . Pictures as soon as I get it !!! Any thoughts ?

I had to google it, I've never heard of a Whale fin plant, I think its gorgeous, I don't blame you one bit for getting one.

For those who love Sansevieria, the Whale Fin Snake Plant (Dracaena masoniana) has become a popular house plant.

I was very disappointed with the first whale fin I got it had a rotten root and the leaf was all shriveled. I complained and got this one as a replacement I am very happy I transplanted it and it had nice new roots. Hopefully it will have some nice pups soon. I do have two rooted babies from the big one (not the whalefin) for a trade. BTW this is a New York window.

Hi, I'm also in NY and expecting my whale fins to be delivered this week! May I ask how your plant is doing at the windowsill and what type of light does it get? Thank you!

I have one that is over 15 years old. It's the one pictured in the database. It grows extremely slowly even in a greenhouse. it has plenty of light, humidity and water. It will bloom for me about every other year.

When that happens, cut out the rotten roots and any rotten parts of the rhizome, let it callus for a day, then place it in a mason jar with distilled/reverse osmosis water. Roots will slowly form and the leaf will start to uncurl.
